GM Brags About Being the First Carmaker to Sell Over 1 Million Vehicles with 30mpg+ in the U.S.

GM announce that it became the first U.S. automaker to sell more than 1 million vehicles with an EPA-estimated 30mpg (equal to 7.8lt/100km and 36mpg UK) or better on the highway test cycle in its home market in the previous year.

GM says it has 13 vehicles in its U.S. range that either hit or surpass the 30mpg highway threshold including four Chevrolet models, three from Buick, and one from Cadillac and GMC.

The Detroit carmaker added that it expects combined 2012 sales of its mini, small and compact cars to be up about 39 percent, and that around 40 percent of its vehicles by sales volume are powered by four-cylinder engines, 10 percentage points higher than in 2010.
